About me
I am a postdoctoral researcher in the UB Motor Speech Disorders Lab in Buffalo, NY. I received my Bachelor's degree in Speech and Language Sciences at Brock University in Ontario, Canada, my Master's degree in Communicative Disorders and Sciences at University at Buffalo, and my doctoral degree in Rehabilitation Sciences at the MGH Institute of Health Professions in Boston, MA. I completed my clinical fellowship in speech-language pathology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in an acute-care setting. Broadly, I am interested in how the brain controls the muscles of speech and swallowing and the perceptual, acoustic, kinematic, and neurophysiologic consequences of neurodegenerative disease on these functions. I have particular interest in the measurement of relevant clinical outcomes, such as speech intelligibility, and in improving therapeutic options to improve the quality of life of patients with oromotor impairments.
